Reyes Admits Handshakes Have Been Down The Last Two Years

Tonight on Mets Hot Stove, Kevin Burkhardt was busy with a phone interview with newly acquired Chris Young, Jose Reyes, and yet once again, David Wright.

The telling moment that Jose Reyes hasn't been himself the last two seasons were acknowledged tonight on Hot Stove. The last two years Reyes battled injuries, and wasn't quite right. When pressed, he admitted that his famous handshakes were down the last two years, and he anticipates handshakes will be in abundance this year. In fact he is planning on a special handshake for new manager Terry Collins.

There was yet another Hot Stove interview with Nuke LaLoosh, but the best part is when his youngest brother, Daniel, impersonated David being interviewed. If was brilliant, and Nuke, who was there, called his brother an "idiot."Burkhardt lost it.
